From Obergurgl head south to the last houses. From there, follow the path to the Zirben Alm and continue along the walking path to a promontory (way cross and bench) opposite the Nasenwand. Then, turning half right on the Alpenrose slope, ascend in switchbacks past beautiful moor pools and pastures to the impressive Rotmooswasserfall of the deeply carved Rotmoos gorge. The path continues quite steeply to the Schönwieshütte or northwards back to the Gaisberg.
